SLAM DUNC: What is this Hīkoi for?

@@HabitualFixation I move in a large circle and we have all had a guts full of Maori bullshit. We are the same demographic that rule this country by way of vote.

What exactly is in the Bill the Hikoi is protesting? I have read the proposed content, can't find anything to protest. Seymour is doing what the majority of New Zealanders support, does anyone think it's going away? Act's 7 minutes of fame? not likely, that would be misreading the room.

you live in NZ so you live under the treaty. It's how people got to stay here. abide and grow together. to say the majority is more than a stretch, it's a limp.

[@kevinnorgate1205]

Why touch an agreement that was formed well over 150 years ago,that agreement was formed by pakeha only because they were losing the war against maori for the right to claim their sovereignty

As per UN/IMF charter they are a "protected class" who should have special entitlements and privileges because they're indigenous. Funny thing is, pretty much everyone is considered a protected class, except Europeans. Even in Europe, their homeland.

[@jreverie7018]

Today I was driving up a road and a cop came up to me saying that the hikoi would be on the road soon and could I do a U-Turn and I smiled and said sure. Next thing I had a maori man come up to me in my car screaming his lungs out whilst waving a flag "yeah go away PAKEHA, go home PAKEHA" another Maori guy across the street yelled at him "oii, cut that language out!!" To him though. Its a shame but the angry racists in the group will taint the whole point of the Hikoi. I just said to the guy "what did I do?" Even when u-turning I could still hear him yelling pakeha this pakeha that from a hundred metres away. Sorry I was born I guess! 😅 Nice of this other guy to stick up to him though. I can't really describe his tone but it was the first time I've heard well, such a racist tone fueled with hatred. All I can say is I'm glad I'll hopefully be moving from here soon, as much as I love NZ

[@MikeJones-m6r]

Welcome to New Zealand lol.

[@AndrewPaulger]

The Maori radicals display the most racist attitude I've ever seen.

[@999Rabs]

I'm wondering where you're meant to "go home" to? I'm Pakeha and was born here, so NZ is my home, as I suspect you were too. And even if you weren't, but now call NZ home, you've got as much right to be here as anyone else.

Referendum to pass the treaty principles or not

[@DW_Kiwi]

I'll tell you why Duncan. Maori want to ultimately establish themselves in this country as overlords. They have been progressively moving to ingrain in the very fabric of this country, that Maori have self determination. Didn't cede to the crown their sovereignty and that through stealth and perceived victim-hood. Claim "all" the land back. All of it! Their aim is to establish this by 2040. They needed to show strength and portray these convictions to the public. To emphasis their rights as. Not only as Tangata whenua But rightful owners of the land. They don't want the "public" to get any ideas contrary to this agenda. To stop the progression.

[@KINGSFORDLIFE]

Māori like to shit stir or twist anything that doesn't go their way into racism, they proved this my trying to implicate luxon in trying to get rid of the treaty which wasn't the case he stated many times he would support it to first reading but refuse to support it any further from that.

My ancestors also embarked on a hikoi, in the 70s. They'd had their land stolen, their language banned and their sovereignty stripped. English paratroopers fired bullets at them, killing 26 unarmed people. Some Maori don't know how lucky they are.

[@bens4241]

Sounds very familiar to Māori, you, similar to the happening at maungapohatu during the time of the First World War.
